DR. CHANDER’S 20-20-20 RULE How You Can Avoid Damage to Your Eyes

THE 20-20-20 RULE

For many of us, looking at a computer screen is just another part of our daily lives. It’s almost an inevitability as many of our jobs and personal lives revolve around technology. But did you know that spending all that time looking at a digital display can negatively affect your eyesight?

The good news is, Dr. Chander has a specific methodology that will prevent blue-violet radiation from plaguing your eyes. The 20-20- 20 rule states that for every 20 minutes using a screen, you should look at something 20 feet away, for a total of 20 seconds. By doing this, you’ll limit the consistent pouring of radiation into your retinas and drastically reduce the damaging effect on your eyes. This includes long-term complications such as central vision damage. If you’re having trouble with your eyesight, stop by our clinic and let us help. We offer specific anti-fatigue lenses that are designed to block blue-violet radiation. This will ease eye strain and protect your retinas from harmful radiation. Our team is here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Swing by today and let us show you how we help Chicago see.

BLUE-VIOLET RADIATION

This specific section of the color spectrum is unique because of how damaging it can be to the eye. The eye is incapable of filtering out enough of the blue-violet radiation that comes from technological devices. This means prolonged exposure can cause retinal damage and contribute to loss of vision or need for constant eye care.

EYE STRAIN

This byproduct of blue-violet radiation is a serious concern if not addressed over time. Eye strain is often characterized by having sore, burning, or itchy eyes and can cause long-term complications if not addressed. These include the following:
